3. EQUIPO DE SALVAMENTO.
Tenemos que cumplir con el reglamento del SOLAS (Captulo III), por lo que debemos de
disponer de los siguientes medios de salvamento.
Bote salvavidas. (Captulo III. Parte B. Seccin III. Regla 31.1.2.1).
Se dispondr de dos botes salvavidas de cada libre cerrados que cumplan lo prescrito
en la seccin 4.7 del Cdigo, que puedan ponerse a flote por cada libre por la popa
del buque y cuya capacidad conjunta baste para dar cabida al nmero total de
personas que vayan a bordo. El material de construccin ser de polister reforzado
con fibra de vidrio. Los botes salvavidas cumplirn con lo prescrito par un bote de
rescate y podrn recuperarse tras la operacin de salvamento. Todas las
embarcaciones de superviviencia irn provistas de materiales retrorreflectantes. Idem
para los botes de rescate, chalecos y aros salvavidas.
Como botes salvavidas se han seleccionado los botes de cada libre tipo DAVITS
ANEXO 1 Salvamento. del fabricante alemn BECSO autopropulsados con hlice en
tobera que acta a su vez como timn favoreciendo la maniobrabilidad con
capacidad para 19 personas cada uno.
Balsas salvavidas. (CaptuloIII Parte B.Seccin III. Regla 31.1.2.2)
Se dispondrn cuatro balsas salvavidas con capacidad suficiente, a cada banda. Irn
adecuadamente estibadas en la zona de popa del buque, dos a cada banda.
La distancia horizontal desde el extremo de la roda hasta el extremo ms prximo de
la embarcacin de supervivencia ms cercana es mayor de 100m, por lo que
dispondremos de otra balsa junto al mamparo de popa del castillo.
Las balsas irn estibadas de manera que estn fcilmente disponibles en caso de
emergencia y que puedan soltarse y flotar libremente, inflarse y zafarse del buque si
este se hunde.
Se han seleccionado las balsas GIVENS BUOY LIFERAFT ANEXO 1 Salvamento. con
capacidad para 12 personas que son estables hidrodinmicamente sin necesidad de
emplear lastre. Se encontrarn equipadas con el equipo de supervivencia que incluir
vveres, agua, bengalas de mano, pistola de bengalas lanzables, un equipo de pesca,
botiqun de primeros auxilios, recolector de agua, etc
4. EQUIPO DE LASTRE.
De los registros de las sociedades de clasificacin y de otros proyectos estimamos una
cantidad mxima de lastre a embarcar de unos 104145,898t (101605,754m3).
Si estimamos que para lastrar un buque el tiempo necesario es de 12 horas, y que la
prdida de carga a salvar por la bomba ser del orden de la altura del tanque de lastre.
Necesitaremos una presin aproximada de 3 bares. Si disponemos de 3 bombas:
Capacidad de las bombas:
girar sobre su propio eje de rotacin y en torno a ese cabezal de lavado. El consumo
de la bomba de crudo para esta mquina se ha estimado en el cuaderno n11, en
20kW. ANEXO 3 COW.
Debe considerarse pies que este factor del tetraedro del fuego, el combustible, est
siempre presente en los tanques. Por ello para evitar un posible incendio solo podremos
actuar sobres los otros factores. Los focos de ignicin que son varios y no siempre
controlables, y el comburente oxgeno, que es lo nico que puede ser controlado
eficazmente mediante el control de la atmsfera y la inertizacin.
La planta de tratamiento de gas inerte debe realizar las siguientes funciones:
1. Suministrar el gas inerte a una presin determinada al sistema de distribucin de
cubierta y de ah a los tanques.
2. Suministrar aire fresco a los tanques de carga para desgasificarlos como medida
previa a trabajos en su interior o a la entrada en dique.
Debido a la gran demanda de gas en estas operaciones cada uno de los dos
ventiladores deber tener una capacidad igual o superior al 150% de la capacidad
mxima de las bombas, teniendo en cuenta las prdidas de carga en el circuito de
forma que el sistema siempre suministre el 125% de la capacidad mxima de las
bombas de carga.
Durante el viaje en carga se necesita una pequea cantidad de gas inerte para
rellenar los tanques y mantenerlos a presin para impedir la entrada de aire.
Ventiladores.
Su finalidad es impulsar el gas inerte a presin hacia el sistema de distribucin a travs
del sello de cubierta. Debido a la presin y capacidad necesaria (un 125% de la de las
bombas de descarga) se emplean ventiladores centrfugos, de una sola etapa con
rodetes de gran dimetro, y pequea altura movido en general por un motor elctrico.
Los impulsores han de probarse a una velocidad un 20% superior a la de diseo y el
motor debe de ser autolimitado, es decir, que incorpore un mecanismo que evite su
embalamiento, caracterstico de estos ventiladores cuando trabajan con la descarga o
admisin cerradas.
Los ventiladores de gas inerte son del tipo de carcasa partida que permiten el acceso al
impulsor sin necesidad de desconectar tuberas ni el motor. Tambin tienen una purga
para elimina el agua que pueda acumularse.
Para la seleccin de un sistema de gas inerte del tipo I.G.G, solo es necesario conocer el
caudal y nuestro caudal es de 20.625m3/h, para el cual hemos encontrado la siguiente
opcin.

HI-FOG es una solucin de proteccin contra incendios ideal para muchos tipos de
embarcaciones, incluidas las que no son para pasajeros, como los buques de carga.
HI-FOG se usa principalmente para proteger las salas de mquinas de buques de
carga, al haberse demostrado que mejora la seguridad contra incendios
considerablemente y consigue reducir los incendios en dichos espacios a un mnimo
absoluto.
Como sistema de agua nebulizada a alta presin, HI-FOG ofrece muchas ventajas en
comparacin con las soluciones convencionales, como por ejemplo:

THE
GIVENS
BUOY
Life Raft
The Givens Buoy Raft is Hydro-dynamically stabilized, not ballasted as other rafts are.
Illustrations below show the underwater stabililization process as follows:
1. Water rapidly enters the first stage, toroid, through portholes as inflation chambers force panels apart lending almost immediate sta-
bility to the raft. Importantly, this process is faster in rough seas. Simultaneously, stainless steel cables assist in deployment of the
main ballast chambers as water enters the one-way flapper valve through which it cannot escape.
2. When the dual-stabilizer chambers are fully deployed, the raft effectively becomes part of and moves with the sea: it can be towed and
rowed even when fully ballasted. This has been done in actual survival situations.
3. The stabilization system compensates for changes in wave angle and weight shift. Because it is water in water, the Givens Buoy
Stability System is virtually weightless, acting on the principles of resistance and capillary integrity. Only the fabric stability chamber
itself moves through and around the water. For this reason, stress on the life raft is minimized and likelihood of capsize is practically
eliminated. In hurricane Allen, 30 seas, 195kt. winds, the raft never capsized, while survivors 30 ton ketch was reportedly lifted
from the sea and capsized. If a rogue wave should overturn the raft, the momentum of water in the Givens Buoy Stability System will
enable the raft to somersault and reright itself as it repeatedly did in hurricane Fico saving 2 men.

The SURVIVALCRAFT FC FF59 FREE FALL lifeboat is designed, built and fitted out according to the latest
SOLAS Regulations - 1996 amendments to SOLAS 1974. It is suitable for installation on cargo vessels, tankers
and also on offshore oil and gas platforms. It is designed to be launched and recovered from a
SURVIVALCRAFT hydraulic ramp and is backed by a worldwide installation, commissioning, maintenance
and repair service provided by our own team of mobile engineers.
The design of the SURVIVALCRAFT range of lifeboats draws on many years of experience gained by the
founders of Survival Craft Inspectorate when they were carrying out repairs and maintenance on competitor's
lifeboats. The design brief was to ensure that SURVIVALCRAFT lifeboats are designed without compromise
to guarantee maximum reliability in the harshest marine conditions and yet have the lowest possible lifetime
ownership costs. This design philosophy is evident in every single component, from the smallest nut and bolt,
to the choice of diesel engine and the release gear.
The result of this design process and strict adherence to our rigorous quality control procedures gives us the
confidence to offer a unique five-year after sales warranty on all SURVIVALCRAFT lifeboats. Full details of
the warranty are available on request.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Totally Enclosed Free Fall Lifeboat designed and manufactured according to latest
SOLAS, Classification Society and National Authority requirements.
The lifeboat provides a secure and protected means of escape for persons onboard
vessels or platforms. The lifeboat is for skid launch by a specific davit. Design and
construction fulfil the need for reliable, low maintenance standby and operation.
The space between hull and hull liner, and between deck and deck liner, is filled with
polyurethane buoyancy foam. In fully flooded and loaded condition, the lifeboat is
self-righting. If damaged below the waterline, buoyancy is sufficient to float the boat
at safe level.
5. RELEASE MECHANISM
Free fall release is activated by either of two, fully independent, hydraulic pump
arrangements - both located on the transom. Primary release pump control handle is
located at the helmsmans position. Secondary release pump is located within reach
of one of the aft seating positions. During launch, the hydraulic pump lifts the aft of
the boat until the hook disengages the securing bar on the davit.
The boat is equipped with a lifting sling to allow retrieval of the boat with a crew of
three persons after launch.
There is a forward hatch on top of the canopy and one at the helmsmans position.
The steering position is at the aft of the boat. The helmsman has a 360 view and
controls the following:
8. ENGINE
The boat is fitted with a SOLAS approved diesel engine with the following features:
9. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
The lifeboat is equipped with the following:
x Over pressure release valve preventing too large pressure inside cabin when
using compressed air system.
x Water spray system with an engine driven centrifugal pump. The system
creates a deluge over the surface of the lifeboat, protecting from fire and
maintaining cabin temperature. The sprinkler system is made of sea water
resistant aluminium pipe work with spray nozzles. The sea water intake is at a
low point under the boat, so flammable liquid is not drawn into the system.
All products are subject to continuous review. Norsafe as reserve the right to change
specification without prior notice.

Weathering Processes Pour point -29C 12C -18C
The physical and chemical changes that spilled oil undergoes
are collectively known as weathering. Although the individual
processes causing these changes may act simultaneously, their
relative importance varies with time. Together they affect the
behaviour of the oil and determine its ultimate fate. These
processes are illustrated in Figure 2 for a spill of a typical
medium crude oil under moderate sea conditions.
Spreading
As soon as oil is spilled, it starts to spread over the sea surface.
The speed at which this takes place depends to a great extent
on the viscosity of the oil and the volume spilled. Fluid, low
viscosity oils spread more quickly than those with a high
viscosity. Liquid oils initially spread as a coherent slick but
quickly begin to break up. Solid or highly viscous oils fragment
rather than spreading to thin layers. At temperatures below
their pour point, oils rapidly solidify and hardly spread at all
and may remain many centimetres thick. Winds, wave action
and water turbulence tend to cause oil to form narrow bands
or windrows parallel to the wind direction. At this stage the
properties of the oil become less important in determining slick Figure 1: Viscosity/temperature relationship for three crude oils.
movement. Viscosity is plotted on a double log scale.

processes with time - the width of each band indicates the importance of the process.
Dispersion
Waves and turbulence at the sea surface can cause all or part
of a slick to break up into droplets of varying sizes which
become mixed into the upper layers of the water column.
While some of the smaller droplets may remain in suspension,
the larger ones rise back to the surface, where they either

of the sea, which mixes the oil into ever greater volumes of sea
water, so reducing its concentration. The increased surface
area presented by dispersed oil can promote processes such
as biodegradation, dissolution and sedimentation.

virtually insoluble in sea water whereas lighter compounds,
particularly aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and
toluene, are slightly soluble. However, these compounds are
also the most volatile and are lost very rapidly by evaporation,
typically 10 to 1,000 times faster than by dissolution.
Concentrations of dissolved hydrocarbons in sea water thus
rarely exceed 1 ppm and dissolution does not make a
significant contribution to the removal of oil from the sea
surface.
Emulsification
In moderate to rough seas, most oils will take up water
droplets and form water-in-oil emulsions under the turbulent
action of waves on the sea surface. This can increase the
volume of pollutant by a factor of up to four times. Emulsions
form most readily in oils which have a combined
Nickel/Vanadium concentration greater than 15 ppm or an
asphaltene content in excess of 0.5% when they are fresh. The
presence of these compounds and the sea state determine the
rate at which emulsions form. Oils which readily emulsify do

and smaller, making the emulsion progressively more viscous
and stable. As the amount of water absorbed increases, the
density of the emulsion approaches that of sea water. Stable
emulsions may contain as much as 70% - 80% water and are
often semi-solid and have a strong red/brown, orange or
yellow colour. They are highly persistent and may remain
emulsified indefinitely. Less stable emulsions may separate out
into oil and water if heated by sunlight under calm conditions
or when stranded on shorelines.
The dissipation of many oils is slowed by the formation of Water-in-oil emulsions often accumulate on shores in thick
highly viscous water-in-oil emulsions. layers.
Sediment-oil interactions
A few heavier residual oils have specific gravities greater than
sea water (more than 1.025), causing them to sink once
spilled. Most crude and fuel oils have sufficiently low specific
gravities to remain afloat unless they interact with and attach
to more dense sediment or organic particles. Dispersed oil
droplets can interact with sediment particles suspended in the
water column, thus becoming heavier and sinking. However,
adhesion to heavier particles most often takes place when oils
strand or become buried on beaches. On exposed, high
energy beaches, large amounts of sediment can be
incorporated and the oil can form dense tar mats. Seasonal
cycles of sediment build-up and erosion may cause oil layers
to be successively buried and uncovered. Even on less exposed
sandy beaches, stranded oil can become covered by wind-

As a general rule, the lower the specific gravity of the oil the
less persistent it will be. The concept of a half life is helpful in
defining removal rates of less persistent oils. This is the time
taken for the removal of 50% of the oil from the sea surface so
that after six half-lives, little more than 1% of the oil will
remain. Half-life calculations are less useful for heavier oils
and water-in-oil emulsions. However, it is important to
appreciate that some apparently light oils behave more like
heavy ones due to the presence of waxes. Oils with wax
contents greater than about 10% tend to have high pour points

The International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Limited (ITOPF) is a non-profit making organisation involved in all aspects of
combating spills in the marine environment. Its highly experienced technical staff have responded to more than 450 ship-source spills
in over 85 countries to give advice on clean-up measures, environmental and economic effects, and compensation. They also
regularly undertake contingency planning and training assignments. ITOPF is a source of comprehensive information on marine
pollution through its library, wide range of technical publications, videos and website. For further information contact:
